Paul Manafort, the former chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, denied Monday any involvement in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, the release of DNC emails and contact with Russian officials and other involved with the attack.

"The suggestion that I ever worked in concert with anyone to release hacked emails or sought to undermine the interests of the United States is false," Manafort said in a statement. "Despite the constant scrutiny and innuendo, there are no facts or evidence supporting these allegations, nor will there be. I am disappointed that anyone would give credence to allegations made by individuals with clear political motives in a blatant attempt to discredit me and the legitimacy of the election of President Trump."
